Ten years after passing Beta Crucis, Satan should have (many unknowns, remember) calmed down:
it will no longer be illuminated any more than inhabited planets;
the cold, exposed rocks will have absorbed any excess heat that has not been re-radiated;
temperature will be tolerable and decreasing steadily though not rapidly;
industry will be able to build;
heat output will be balanced with loss;
the atmosphere will be poisonous and most jobs will be automated so radioactive waste will be unproblematic;
the surface will be warm, lit by stars and lamps;
radio beacons will guide cargo shuttles;
there will be nuclear conversion units everywhere;
tons of formerly rare materials will be exported daily;
hopefully, SSL will monopolize the sale of franchises;
there will be both great wealth and great war potential as later with Mirkheim which Falkayn will seek, find and not hand over to van Rijn.
